August 31, 2015.

Night, 11:59, Yangcheng Happy Community, Unit 1, Building 3, 2001.

Du Xiaochuan was lying on the bed, blowing the air conditioner, unable to sleep for a long time.

Although he has escaped the bitterness of high school and is about to enter a free college time, he has an inexplicable irritability and restlessness.

Because of what he experienced this summer, he had a completely different perspective on life.

Du Xiaochuan was born in a good family, his father is called Du Weiguo, and his mother is Hu Yulan.

Du Weiguo graduated from junior high school and came out of the countryside alone, with no one to help him, and relied on himself to get out step by step in YC County.

Nowadays, he opened the largest star-rated hotel in the county, in addition to many industries such as hot pot restaurants and milk tea shops.

He is the hidden richest man in Yangcheng.

Of course, Du Xiaochuan only learned that his family was so rich during this summer vacation.

In the past, there was only a vague concept, and clothes and toys could generally be bought without worrying about eating and drinking.

Du Weiguo took a poor approach to Du Xiaochuan, so when Du Xiaochuan appeared in the largest star-rated hotel in the county, the manager and waiter in the hotel shouted when they met him:

"Young Master. ”

His father's business partner shouted when he saw him, "This is your son-in-law." ".

Du Xiaochuan had an indescribable feeling.

This feeling is not that I feel that I am amazing, but that I found that the title "Childe" is because of my father, and I am nothing.

A kind of man's self-esteem and self-improvement burst out in Du Xiaochuan's heart at that time.

Du Xiaochuan clearly remembered that when those people looked at his father, they looked at him with respect from the bottom of their hearts, but they only looked at themselves with superficial respect.

Du Xiaochuan wanted to say, "I can get ahead on my own in the future!"

But during the two-month part-time job in the summer vacation, he understood a naked reality: without a high degree of education, it is difficult to move forward.

Although academic qualifications do not represent your ultimate achievement, at least when you first enter the society, the gap is obvious.

Those with high education and those with low education are in the company they are applying for, have just entered the position, and the internship salary is ......

It's all very different.

And this gap is likely to be getting bigger and bigger, although there are a few cases of catching up.

But this minority is very few, and most of them are developing step by step.

This is also a lesson that Du Weiguo specially taught his son before he went to college.

Du Xiaochuan was lying on the bed, and the words his father said to him during the day kept echoing in his mind:

"Xiaochuan, over the years, your mother has been studying all day long, just for your studies, and finally you were admitted to an ordinary second book.

Although the current social undergraduates are like flowing water, not as rare as our previous college students, you are also the first college student of our Lao Du family!

I don't care what you want to do in the future, as long as you don't break the law and discipline, I support you, but I hope you can think about it in your college years, what you want to do in the future, and what you can do?"

What his father said was very straightforward, and it hit Du Xiaochuan's heart.

The question is acute:

What do you want to do, and what can you do?

Du Xiaochuan realized that he had not had a clear and clear goal all along.

When I was a child, my teacher asked, "What is your dream?"

Students answered: Scientists!

Du Xiaochuan also replied to the scientist.

As I grew up, we all understood that scientists were a bit out of reach.

The dream of casually exporting at the beginning can only be regarded as a joke.

But now the question arises again: What is a dream?

Du Xiaochuan lay on the bed, asking his heart, but he couldn't get a response from it for a long time.

Think about my high school classmates, although most of them are the same as me, but there are also a few who have set their goals in life early.

One of them said that he was going to join the army, but he heard that he seemed to have already gone.

There is one who wants to be an online writer, and I heard that he has written a million words in two months this summer.

There is also one who wants to start a business, and I heard that he has made thousands of dollars by setting up a stall.

......

And what about yourself?

In the past three years, I went to the Internet café with everyone, and I was still an unyielding silver after a few years.

Imagine the future with everyone, and feel that academic qualifications are useless in my heart, but while I didn't study hard, I didn't mix up anything else.

The only thing that's good is basketball skills, but at most it's playing at school, and it's nothing when it's out of school.

To put it simply, it's four words: it's useless.

There is no goal, and there is no specialty that can be used.

......

Lying down, Du Xiaochuan was still sleepy.

He didn't want to be a second generation to inherit the family business, but he really didn't know what he could do.

Although he loves basketball immensely, his height of 178 is destined to become a hobby.

Thinking that he was going to college tomorrow, Du Xiaochuan suddenly wanted to see how he spent his high school career.

Why did I only take two exams?

He remembers that when he was in elementary school and junior high school, his studies were still at the top.

Thinking of this, Du Xiaochuan got up from the bed.

At the foot of the bed in his room, against the wall, was a desk.

Except for most of the textbooks and test papers in the study, everything else is in the drawers and cabinets of this desk.

He spent the last revision time of his senior year of high school at this desk.

Turning on the desk lamp and opening the drawer, Du Xiaochuan was going to find his high school exam papers, take them out and take a look, and see how his grades were like this.

Flipping through the pages, a yellowed math workbook appeared in his field of vision.

Du Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment.

A picture from a memory slowly came to mind:

It was the second semester of junior high school, and there was a workbook called "New Observations" in mathematics at that time.

At that time, it was already in the review stage.

The homework assigned by the math teacher every day is a new observation of the lesson.

He was very good at math, and he made dozens of new observations ahead of his time.

And with average math scores, she wanted to see his problem-solving process.

After receiving the news on QQ, he copied the process of solving the problem on his new observation in the exercise book overnight.

In order to make it easier to understand, he also made a lot of annotations on the side.

The next day, when he excitedly handed her the exercise book.

She brought a camera......

He took pictures of his new observations one by one......

......

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Du Xiaochuan's face, but it quickly turned into contemplation.

I don't know which university she attended......

Du Xiaochuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time from August 31 to September 1.

silently thought: today seems to be her 18th birthday, but it's a pity......

If only I had been braver!

Maybe now......

It's a pity that there was no if.

At this time, a burst of white light suddenly flashed, and Du Xiaochuan's whole person was sucked into the drawer.

Instead, it appears on a time machine, surrounded by a colorful time tunnel.

Is this "Doraemon Time Machine"?

Looking around, Du Xiaochuan was very sure that the location he was in was the time machine that he had seen many times when he was a child!

My drawer is a time machine?

Du Xiaochuan was a little confused, wondering if he was dreaming.

Reached out and pinched his face, it hurt!

I pinched it hard again, and it hurt even more!

The ruddy face was pinched purple and blue.

It took a while for Du Xiaochuan to confirm that he was not dreaming, he was really on the time machine!

Du Xiaochuan was just about to see where the switch of this time machine was, when the time machine suddenly started, and the scenery on both sides quickly regressed.

Du Xiaochuan grabbed the handle on the machine tightly and shouted, "Where are you taking me?"

No one responded.

After a few minutes, the time machine stopped, and a square light port appeared above it, exactly like the scene in the cartoon.

After thinking about it, Du Xiaochuan still climbed up along the light mouth.

He cautiously poked his head out, and saw how the scene in front of him was so familiar!

On the left is the wardrobe, on the right is the bay window, in the middle is the bed, the wardrobe is a bamboo pattern, and on the bay window is a Yangtze River No. 7 doll.

Isn't this his bedroom!

The most important thing is that there is a person lying on the bed now, playing with his mobile phone in the air-conditioned quilt!

White light looms through the quilt.

This person must be himself!

Du Xiaochuan was very frightened, but when he thought of the time machine of the cartoon, there was indeed an episode where Nobita went back to the past and helped his past self.

Du Xiaochuan calmed down again, this is just his past self, and he is not a clone, what is there to be afraid of.

Of course, thinking like this, Du Xiaochuan is still a little afraid.

Just as he was still thinking about how to greet his past self, whether to shout "Hey!" or "Hello".

A white light lit up, and the entire bedroom was enveloped in a transparent light shield.

"Du Xiaochuan", who was lying on the bed, was staring at an avatar on QQ in a daze, and suddenly found that the quilt was bright outside.

Could it be that Mom and Dad came in?

"Du Xiaochuan" hurriedly stuffed his mobile phone under the pillow, pretended to be awakened, and slowly pulled the quilt opener.

Take a look.

"Ah!!" The scream sounded, and "Du Xiaochuan" stepped back with his whole body and slammed on the head of the bed, as if he could give him a sense of security by clinging to him like this.

Du Xiaochuan stood in the drawer, he could understand the fright of "himself" at the moment, and when he saw the high school textbook on the desk next to him, he already knew what time node it was.

In this situation, Du Xiaochuan suddenly thought of a sentence:

"I know how you've spent the next three years. ”
